v14.2.0

This release bumps GCC from 13.2 to 14.2.

• Tool versions
  • GCC 14.2 (https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/changes.html)
  • glibc 2.40
  • musl 1.2.5

v13.2.0

This release bumps GCC from 12.2 to 13.2 and adopts the new version scheme that
mirrors GCC versions.

• Changes

  • Re-add static toolchain option since LTO no longer gets turned off when it's enabled.
  • Build a multilib toolchain for RISC-V glibc builds to support both 32-bit and 64-bit, soft and hard float compilation

• Tool versions

  • GCC 13.2
  • glibc 2.38
  • musl 1.2.4
  • Linux 5.4 headers except for RISC-V. RISC-V uses Linux 5.15 headers.

v1.8.0

This release bumps GCC from 11.3 to 12.2.

• Tool versions
  • GCC 12.2 (https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-12/changes.html)
  • glibc 2.36
  • musl 1.2.3
  • Linux 4.19 headers except for RISC-V. RISC-V uses Linux 5.10 headers.

v1.7.0

This release adds a riscv64 glibc toolchain since that has more support than
muslc in the RISC-V community at the moment.

• Changes

  • Removes Python scripting support in gdb (fixes toolchain compilation and
    probably not used)
  • Remove the static toolchain option since it was being ignored on MacOS. On
    Linux, it disabled LTO. LTO is included on all platforms now (the default).
  • Fixes runtime dependency on libzstd another way by forcibly turning it off
    with a Crosstool-NG option rather than adding a configure flag. This is
    possible now. Previously the option was hidden due to the static toolchain
    option.
  • Let gcc determine the correct option for SJLJ (setjmp/longjmp). The note
    where it doesn't work doesn't apply to Nerves platforms.

• Tool versions

  • GCC 11.3
  • glibc 2.36 (New!)
  • musl 1.2.3
  • Linux 4.19 headers except for RISC-V. RISC-V uses Linux 5.10 headers.

v1.6.1

This release adds musl libc toolchains for aarch64 and armv7.

• Fixes
  • Remove unneeded runtime dependency on libzstd. This caused an unintentional
    dependency to Homebrew on MacOS.

v1.6.0

This release bumps GCC from 10.3 to 11.3

• New features

  • Include a Fortran compiler to make it easier to create Nerves systems that
    require Fortran.

• Tool versions

  • GCC 11.3 (https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/changes.html

v1.5.0

This should be a low risk update to v1.4.3. The main purpose is to make libgomp
available. It remains on GCC 10, but pulls in the latest patch releases of
associated build tools..

• New features

  • libgomp is available now

• Tool versions

  • GCC 10.3 (https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/changes.html#GCC10.3)
  • glibc 2.34 (https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-August/129718.html)
  • binutils 2.37
  • Linux 4.19 headers except for RISC-V. RISC-V uses Linux 5.4 headers.

v1.4.3

This release bumps the Linux headers from 4.14 to 4.19. This requires that your
Nerves system uses Linux 4.19 or later.

• New features

  • Store a Build-ID by default. A Build-ID uniquely identifies an executable or
    shared library and is useful for matching up debug symbols to produce useful
    stack traces from C and C++ programs.
  • A 64-bit RISC-V crosscompiler is now available.

• Tool versions

  • GCC 10.2
  • Linux 4.19 headers (except for RISC-V)
  • glibc 2.33
  • binutils 2.36.1

v1.4.2

This release reverts the switch from 4.14 headers to 4.4 headers in v1.4.0. This
re-enables libgpiod (cdev), bluez5, iwd, and ply (eBPF) which required
headers after 4.4.

• Fixes

  • ARMv7 toolchain now defaults to "generic-arm-v7a" rather than "cortex-a9".
    This fixes a potential issue of generating invalid ARM instructions, but it
    appears that this did not affect ARM Cortex-A7 and A8 platforms supported by
    Nerves.

• Tool versions

  • GCC 10.2
  • Linux 4.14 headers
  • glibc 2.33
  • binutils 2.36.1

v1.4.1

This release adds host support for native Mac M1 toolchains.

Hardware float has been enabled on the armv6 toolchain to further
consistency with https://toolchains.bootlin.com configurations.

• Updated dependencies
  • nerves_toolchain_ctng v1.8.2
